Hello, I am 20 years old female and I'm covered with body hair. Most are dark but short and fine. Was like that since I hit puberty. I went to the doctors and can't find anything wrong with me. I did some research and found out that my pores could be sensitive to testosterone causing it to grow hair. If I have that how will I know? What kind of tests will I have to do? Also is it curable or treatable? What kind of doctor do I need to see?
